Quantum Coherence in Microtubules: Unconfirmed Link to Consciousness — E8 Intelligence Research

Abstract

FINDING: Quantum coherence in microtubules (Posner molecules) remains experimentally unconfirmed; current evidence is indirect, with no verified equation or constant linking consciousness to quantum state collapse. | MATH: No new equations extracted. Relevant formalism: Leggett–Garg inequality \(K_3 = C_{12} + C_{23} - C_{13} \leq 1\) (macrorealism bound); Posner molecule \(Ca_9(PO_4)_6\) — nuclear spin \(^{31}P\) (\(I=1/2\)) entanglement lifetime \(\tau \sim 10^2\)–\(10^3\) s proposed, but not measured. | CONNECTION: None established. No ratio (0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618), no base-60, no crystallographic symmetry beyond the trivial \(P6_3/m\) space group of hydroxyapatite (Posner cluster) — but that is structural, not harmonic. | DEPTH: 2/10 — The evidence is video summaries, not primary data. The only mathematical content is the Leggett–Garg inequality, which is a test of macrorealism, not consciousness. No verified constant, no geometric harmony, no new physics.
